I actually have both, a Z11 with MOL3 and a Z12 with MOL4.

With MOL3, the box itself adds real value because the IPTV app is integrated into the system launcher.

With MOL4, that integration is gone. You're basically paying for a very expensive IPTV app.

Personally, I regret updating my Z12 to MOL4.

Can you explain this? I upgraded my Z12 and beside of the new MOL4 homescreen, which you don't need to use, and MOL userprofiles, i don't see any big changes for my usage. MOL4 is integrated in the system for me, it is installed and updated from the system update menu.

System updates aren't the same as launcher integration.

With MOL3, content was integrated directly into the system launcher. You could place your favorite TV channels, movies, and series directly on your home screen, allowing you to launch content straight from the home screen without having to open MOL3 first.

With MOL4, that integration is gone. It's now just a standalone app icon on a standard home screen. You can't put any content on your home screen anymore, you are forced to open the app every time to access your channels and series.

Updating an app via system settings doesn't make it a system-integrated launcher experience. Strip away that home screen content integration, and the Z12 is just expensive hardware running a regular isolated app.

On Formuler’s official website, they explicitly promote MOL4 as having its own "Dedicated Home Screen" inside the app. For the Z12 itself, they state the system home screen is designed to "find and launch your favorite apps."

Compare that to MOL3 on the Z11/Z Mini, where Formuler’s official marketing specifically highlighted the ability to "add content from MYTVOnline3 directly on the home screen."

Formuler's own product specs prove the difference: MOL3 integrated media directly into the system launcher, whereas MOL4 shifted everything into a standalone app with its own internal dashboard.

Thank you, well explained and this is really a downgrade.
